Week 8

Week 8 was spent on with an impromptu trip home, which meant I had to work remote. Monday was spent with a mid day staff meeting, and a lot of time researching different avenues of fundraising. Since everything is steadily becoming more digital, FMF is always looking for different ways to reach people. 

On Tuesday I started to draft and design some copies of our annual impact report. I really enjoy this project because it combines creativity and analytical information. 

Wednesday morning was our final Columbus learning session. I really enjoyed this session and learned a new term, “social profit in replacement of nonprofit. I absolutely prefer this term over nonprofit because it encapsulates what we do. The literal definition of nonprofit is “no profit.” And society has become accustomed to equating nonprofit to automatic good. I think this ideal definitely is a result of our ultra capitalist society, which simultaneously glorifies and villainies money. The rest of Wednesday was spent designing more impact report templates, and adding detail. 

On Thursday I dove into researching more information about break feeding. Break feeding and reaching as many children as possible over the summer is a goal Family Mentor Foundation has had for a while. As we continue to grow, we want to make even more strides to feeding more kids. It sounds simple, but there are a lot of factors at play. 

Lastly on Friday, I drafted some letter for volunteers, and finished up some details on the impact reports. After a week fully remote, I am very excited to get back to the office, and my normal routine
